Turbulent Times Chapter 899: Youzhou Frontier Army

Xue Li is very clear about his position, he must be on the opposite side of Lu Shi.

So, when he first came to Fanyang County, he also fought with the Lu family, but he suffered losses one after another. The food could not be harvested. Of course, it was Lu's secret manipulation, and many of the 10,000 county soldiers under his direct control were from Lu's or were inextricably related to Lu's. He tried to change Some, but the effect is not very good. After four years of hard work, he can only control half of the county soldiers. As for the county soldiers in the eight counties who should have listened to his orders, they are not under his control.

So, after Xue Li learned that His Majesty's favorite minister, the famous ever-victorious poisonous general, King Junlin of Qin'an, came to Fanyang County as the prefect, although he was worried that Wang Junlin would be too strong and would take him out of the picture, generally speaking, I would like to see Wang Junlin come to fight Lu Shi.

Of course, this does not mean that Xue Li will definitely listen to Wang Junlin. After all, Yingyang Mansion is under the dual leadership of the county government and the imperial military department. In case of emergencies, soldiers and horses can be mobilized, but in turn, Ying Yanglang will mobilize troops and horses and must be approved by the prefect. Situation happens.

So, how many soldiers a county prefect can control depends on many factors, such as the contest between the prefect and general Ying Yanglang, the relationship between the two, the comparison of their backgrounds, and so on.

Among the many counties in the Sui Dynasty, there must have been a prefect, Ying Yanglang, who would eat him to death, and let the latter obey his words. The Yingyang mansion and the county soldiers were not able to intervene in the slightest.

…

…

After welcoming the new prefect, Xue Li took the officials of Yingyang Mansion to leave, and Wang Junlin sent away the restless county officials. Speak, no one dares to leave.

A group of county government officials surrounded Wang Junlin and his party to the Taishou Mansion. This is a mansion covering an area of ​​50 mu, with six entrances. If the prefect doesn't like it, he can also buy a mansion by himself.

Wang Junlin is naturally not that particular. Long before he and Chen Danying came, Zhang Jinzhong, the steward of Qin Anhou's Mansion in Daxing City, brought hundreds of servants, maids and some guards, and took a shortcut with most of his belongings. When they arrived in Daxing City, the inside and outside of the mansion had already been tidied up, even the New Year's peach charms, red lanterns and other things were ready. Wang Junlin and Chen Danying only needed to bring people to live in.

At the gate, Wang Junlin sent all the officials directly under the county government home to celebrate the new year. door.

…

…

"These two turned out to be two captains of the Youzhou Frontier Army. I didn't expect that these thousand cavalry were actually the Youzhou Frontier Army. No wonder they are elite." Just after settling down, Shan Xiongxin took a The paper was handed over to Wang Junlin. After Wang Junlin read it, he looked surprised. This was the result of the interrogation of the two leaders of the Thousand Cavalrymen they had captured by the Spring and Autumn Nu and the Chong Yao.

Wang Junlin read the interrogation results carefully, thought for a while, and said: "Because Youzhou is located in Liaodong, it faces Khitan and Goguryeo directly, and has an army of 100,000. Although the prefectural capital of Youzhou was withdrawn, the Office of the Governor of the Supervising State and the Chief of the Marching Office were established. The Governor of the former state capital and the Chief of the Marching directly became the Governor of the Supervising State and the Chief of the Marching. In addition to the weakening of power , not much has changed for Youzhou.”

Three years ago, Wang Junlin went north to Bingzhou to kill Yang Liang and Gao Ying, and forced the commander-in-chief Yang Su, who commanded tens of thousands of troops to suppress the rebellion, to feign death. The second and second general is Yu Wenhuaji, the former was once Yang Su's favorite general, and he can be regarded as Yang Su's confidant and favorite general. After the rebellion in Bingzhou was pacified, Yu Wenhuaji returned to Beijing, and Li Zixiong stayed behind to become the commander of the Youzhou army.

"Sure enough, every time I assassinate or cheat me, there is Yang Su's shadow behind me. This Li Zixiong is really brave enough. He even dared to privately send a thousand cavalry to go south, colluding with Lu's, and ran to Fanyang County to encircle him. Kill me." Wang Junlin had already sorted out the whole thing clearly.

"Go and meet these two captains of the Youzhou frontier army!" Wang Junlin thought for a while, and went directly to the side courtyard without visiting the new mansion.

There is a private prison in the east courtyard of the prefect's mansion. I don't know which generation of prefects ordered it to be built.

When Wang Junlin came, Chong Yao and Chunqiu Nu were sitting in front of the private prison, setting up a table of food and wine, drinking wine, and eating delicious food. There were two maids serving them, looking very relaxed. When Jun Lin arrived, the two servant girls hurriedly saluted, the two old fellows did not get up and saluted, but just nodded, and the insect demon said: "There are people inside! They are two hard bones, if it weren't for my spirit snake, ordinary torture methods It's hard to get these two guys to talk."

"The two seniors have worked hard. When you caught someone, did anyone escape alive?" Wang Junlin clasped his fists slightly at the two and asked.

"There are only a dozen or so soldiers around these two people. If we two old fellows fight in person, how could we let them escape alive."

"That's good, just leave it to the guards here, and the two seniors can go to rest!" Wang Junlin said with a smile.

Chong Yao and Chunqiu Nu drank the wine in their cups in one gulp, and then left without thinking. Wang Junlin asked two guards to guard the entrance of the dungeon, and then walked in with Shan Xiongxin.

This private prison is not big, there are only two cells, and it is quite clean. When Wang Junlin came down, two pale, despairing men sat on the wall and stared in a certain direction in a daze. Glancing at Wang Junlin, he didn't speak, and continued to be in a daze. There was a table outside the cell, and two guards were sitting by the table and guarding it. When they saw Wang Junlin and Shan Xiongxin coming in, they got up and saluted.

Wang Junlin glanced at the two men in the cell, and said to the two guards: "Go ask someone to buy a table of wine and food, and bring them here."

One of the guards agreed and left quickly.

"Consider me as the master, I don't have to kill you." After Wang Junlin carefully looked at the two captains of the Youzhou frontier army, he directly stated his purpose without saying anything nonsense.
